Incoming Seiko Prospex SRPA21 "Pepsi" PADI Turtle

Received this Pepsi Turtle as a surpise gift. This is my first Seiko and I get the appeal. This is easily my best looking watch under $1,000. Not much else to say about this. It's a stunner!

I always end up swapping straps on all my watches. If anyone has any suggestions let me know and share your pics!

Man so cool

Check out cheapnatostraps.com

Color Match them. So a blue red white strap. Or better yet blue red

Thanks for the strap ideas. Blue red and white nato looks great.

No dual lume on this watch.

Probably my favorite version of the modern Turtle. I wear mine mostly on leather.

Congratulations! It's one of my favorite Turtles. I currently have mine on an Uncle Seiko blue strap:

I was thinking the same thing after seeing Tom, Kat, and Ky’s posts.

I’m starting to think this may be my on the top of my list for next watch...

Did you fade the bezel yourself? I love how it looks and changes the watch completely.
